The triazol-3-ylamine and three different kinds of Schiff base compounds are self-assembled on bronze surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that the triazol-3-ylamine and Schiff base self-assembled films can protect bronze from corrosion in 0.5 M HCl solution. The corrosion efficiency increases with the self-assembly time increasing and reaches a stable value after 8 h. The highest corrosion efficiency of the bronze electrode modified with self-assembled films reaches 95.81% after immersing in 0.005 M 2,4-Dibromo-6-[(4H-[1,2,4]Triazol-3-ylimino)-methyl]-phenol Schiff base solution for 10 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electrochemical microscope are used to characterize the inhibitive ability of the self-assembled films. Quantum chemical calculations and dynamic simulations indicate that the triazol-3-ylamine and Schiff bases molecules can absorb on the copper surface via chemisorption. The adsorption energy increases with the number of aromatic rings.

In-situ TiC/Ti titanium matrix composites were successfully fabricated through a novel approach, utilizing the reaction of graphene and Ti mixture powders in spark plasma sintering . Microstructure, hardness and compressive properties of such composites were investigated. The layered graphene nanosheets as the carbon source were dispersed in the powders, and subsequently formed uniform TiC particles in Ti matrix during the rapid sintering. The resulting TiC particles exhibited the micro- and nano-sized equiaxial structures. Such composites possessed the significantly enhanced hardness and room-temperature compressive strength comparing with the as-cast and as-sintered pure Ti. The ultimate and yield compressive strengths of as-prepared 7.0 vol% TiC incorporated composite respectively reached up to 2.64 GPa and 1.93 GPa, beyond some advanced Ti materials reported to date. In-situ micro- and nano-sized TiC particles were believed to be beneficial to harden and strengthen Ti matrix. The relevant strengthening mechanisms of such composites were discussed.

Edible packaging films using polymer for food preservation have been developed for a long time. In this study, the effects of different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, w/v) of tea polyphenols incorporated into pullulan-Carboxymethylcellulose sodium (Pul-CMC) solutions on electrospun nanofiber films were evaluated. The fiber size distribution was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The morphological features of nanofibers were modulated through adjusting process parameters (e.g. concentration of polymer solution, applied voltage and feeding rate). Increasing the applied voltage from 19 to 21 kV and the feed rate from 0.36 to 0.6 mL/h leads to a reduction in mean fiber diameter. Fruit packaging potential was evaluated using strawberry. The pullulan-CMC-TP nanofibers significantly decreased weight loss and maintained the firmness of the strawberries, and improved the quality of the fruit during storage. The findings demonstrate a facile packaging route to improve food sustainability and reduce waste.

The two-stage removal process of tetracycline (TC) in aqueous solutions using a novel photocatalyst based on nano-zero-valent iron (NZVI), g-C3N4 and expanded graphite by carbon layer (EGC) is reported for the first time. The composite (NZVI/g-C3N4@EGC) exhibits remarkable adsorption, reduction ability and visible light activity over the reaction course. Compared with pristine g-C3N4 (25.9%) and pure NZVI (45.9%), NZVI/g-C3N4@EGC achieves high degradation efficiency of TC (98.5%) due to the formation of a heterogeneous photo-Fenton system. This study shows that synergistic effects are achieved in the reaction system, including maintaining the reduction ability of NZVI and enhancing the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 by facilitating the separation of photogenerated electrons (e−) and holes (h+). TC removal involved a two-stage process of adsorption–reduction and photo-degradation. The quencher experiments determined that holes (h+) and superoxide radicals (˙O2−) are the major reactive species in the degradation of TC. The degradation pathways of TC were proposed based on the analysis of the intermediates. In addition, NZVI/g-C3N4@EGC revealed a high stability in a five-cycle test and good magnetic properties for facile separation from aqueous solutions. From an application viewpoint, NZVI/g-C3N4@EGC has favorable prospects in the direction of the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic wastewater.

In this article, we present a simple and sensitive electrochemical DNA biosensor based on graphene oxide (GO)/chitosan (CS) hybrid nanocomposites modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E.coli O157:H7). The morphology and composition of GO and hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). Cyclic voltammetry investigations indicated that the GO/CS/GCE showed excellent electron transfer ability and good linear relation. Under the optimal hybridization conditions, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) responses of ssDNA/GO/CS/GCE biosensor were in linear with the target DNA in the concentration range from 1×10 -14 to 1×10 -8 M with the detection limit as 3.584×10 -15 M (3σ). Moreover, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies revealed good specificity and excellent ability of ssDNA/GO/CS/GCE biosensor to distinguish complementary, 1-base mismatched DNA, 2-base mismatched DNA and multi-base mismatched DNA. The developed strategy in this research revealed that the GO/CS modified electrode possess excellent performance for detecting of Escherichia coli O157:H7 DNA.

In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were embedded into the hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibrous mats to achieve sustained release of water soluble drug from hydrophilic nanofibrous mats. MSNs were successfully prepared based on a sol–gel method. Water soluble drug naproxen sodium was then loaded into the mesopores of the MSNs, and different amounts of the drug-loaded MSNs were further incorporated into the fibers by the electrospinning process. Morphology of the nanofibrous mats was investigated, and it was found that all the fibers exhibited fibrous structure. Interestingly, lots of protrusions could be observed from the scanning electron microscopy images with high magnification, and numbers of the protrusions increased with the increasing of loading ratios of the MSNs from 5 to 15%. In addition, the wetting behaviors of the nanofibrous mats were also measured, and the water contact angles of all the mats were measured to be 0°. Finally, the drug release results indicated that all the PVA/MSNs composite nanofibrous mats showed an obviously prolonged drug release. The optimal loading ratio of the MSNs in the nanofibers was 10% due to the slowest drug release rate. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136 , 47922.

The rapid development of artificial intelligent and internet of things calls for high-performance multifunctional devices for synchronous detection of a wide variety of environmental signals, such as gas, light, and humidity. Herein, highly crystallized tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) microwires (MWs) with low density of point defects are synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method and constructed into a multifunctional device for photo and humidity sensing. The device shows excellent photoelectric performances, for example, ultralow dark current of ≈10 −13 A, ultrahigh on–off ratio of >10 7 , UV/visible rejection ratio of R 300 nm / R 400 nm > 10 7 , specific detectivity ( D *) of 1.16 × 10 15 Jones, linear dynamic range (LDR) of 152 dB, high responsivity of 18 A W −1 , and fast photoresponse speed of t rise / t decay = 2.7 µs/2.5 ms at 5 V bias. Furthermore, the p-CuI/n-SnO 2 heterojunction shows outstanding self-powered properties, such as responsivity of 8.98 mA W −1 , specific detectivity of 1.98 × 10 12 Jones and LDR of 106 dB at 0 V bias. Additionally, the SnO 2 MWs also show high sensitivity to ambient humidity changes. Therefore, the SnO 2 MWs show high potential for multifunctional applications, such as UV photodetector and humidity sensor.

P2-Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27−xMn0.62YxO2 (x = 0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) cathode materials were successfully prepared using a traditional solid-state method with ball milling-assisted modification. The effect of Y-doping on the crystal structure, grain size, morphology and sodium storage performance of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2 was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling tests, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results demonstrated that the ball-milling pre-treatment method could effectively reduce the grain size and mitigate the aggregation of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2. Additionally, reasonable Y-doping (x = 1%) significantly enhances the rate capability and cycling stability of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2via improving the Na+ diffusion kinetics and the reversibility of the oxygen redox reaction. These results indicate that Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.26Mn0.62Y0.01O2 is a promising candidate material for high-rate and long-life cathodes for Na-ion battery application.

Novel nanocomposites of spherical graphite-carbon encased tungsten carbide (GC-WC) are synthesized by solid state reaction with melamine and WO 3 as precursors under N 2 atmosphere. The diameters of the GC-WC composites range from 50 to 200 nm and the WC nanoparticles inside with an average size of ca. 15 nm distribute uniformly. The characterization results indicate that the GC-WC is composed of few layers of graphite carbon and WC nanoparticles with high crystallization and purity. Moreover, the electrocatalytic performance of GC-WC for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium is further investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disk electrode (RDE) and chronoamperometry test with or without 3 M methanol. The results show that GC-WC has a considerable performance for ORR in the view of activity, stability and methanol tolerance, which may further used as proper supports for noble-metal based ORR catalysts in alkaline fuel cell . The synergetic interaction between the carbide nanoparticles and graphite carbon, which means that the surface graphite carbon layers are activated by WC nanoparticles for ORR and in turn protect inner WC from highly oxidizing environments has also been verified.

Unsustainable production and consumption patterns in China's metropolitan areas have resulted in an increase in the production of waste materials for which local governments have to find solutions, one of which is the construction of waste incineration power plants. These plans often meet resistance from residents who fear negative environmental impacts . This paper presents an in-depth study of how Chinese local governments responded to an environmental conflict regarding the construction of an incineration power plant in Panyu district, Guangzhou City, PRC, using a typology to identify and categorize these government responses. The empirical analysis shows that local governments engage in various new ways of dealing with these conflicts. The article aims to enhance insight into the response of Chinese local governments to these conflicts and provide building block for further research.

Currently, polysaccharide-based hydrogels are widely studied macromolecular networks to modify drug dissolution from controlled-releasing matrix tablets. Among them, polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) films consisted of chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (SA) could be obtained via spontaneously assembling under physiological gastrointestinal environment. Here, we utilized these self-assembled PEC films as an efficient coating materials to develop controlled-released matrix tablets through compression coating process, with paracetamol (APAP) as model drug. The constitutive and morphology characteristic studies on these PEC films illustrated that the mixture of CS and SA with the weight ratio of 1:1 would be an promising outer layer for compression-coating tablets. In addition, the in vitro drug releasing behavior experiments demonstrated that the optimized compression coating tablets displayed satisfied zero-order drug releasing profits. Furthermore, the in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of these APAP loaded compression-coated tablets in New Zealand rabbits gave that the T max (12.32 ± 1.05 h) was significantly prolonged ( p < 0.01), compared to that (0.89 ± 0.26 h) of common APAP tablets (Jinfuning ® ) after oral administration. These studies suggest that the compression-coated tablets with self-assembled PEC film as coating outer layer may be a promising strategy for peroral controlled release delivery system of water soluble drugs.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are gaining widespread attention owing to their intrinsic safety and low cost. However, it is still a challenge that finding robust cathode materials to build a high-energy-density aqueous ZIBs. Here, we synthesize a novel layered K 0.41 MnO 2 ·0.5H 2 O (KMO) cathode material for aqueous ZIBs. The constructed Zn//KMO battery shows an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 425 mAh g −1 and a remarkable energy density of 503 Wh kg −1 at 175 mA g −1 , as well as an good durability over 1500 cycles with no obvious capacity fading. A comprehensive study suggests that the water molecules can intercalate into layered KMO with H + and Zn 2+ ions during discharging process. The co-intercalating water not only facilitates ions insertion, but serves as pillars to stabilize the structure of KMO. This work demonstrates the mechanism about water cointercalation and provides a way for designing high-energy-density aqueous ZIBs.
